Hello all, it's been a long while since I last posted. I went through a "down" period with my photography as my life demanded attention in other areas.

I've been getting back into the swing of blogging and trying to write useful and/or helpful blogs, rather than just the "oh look a pretty picture" ones that I have in the past. Frankly, I'm not very good at writing most days. If any of you would be willing to give me feedback on my blog, read one or two posts, and give me some constructive feedback I'd be most grateful. I want to contribute more to the photo community as a whole and I'm definitely still trying to "find my voice". If you had feedback on the site as a whole, I'd be grateful too.

Anyone up for that?

I was impressed and quite surprised at the quality of the material in your blog. (Chuckling to myself) Not sufficiently surprised that I was moved to subscribe to Photoshop (yet) after a long love affair with free-standing Lightroom dispite knowing that my unsupported LR is fading further into nothingness with the passage of each day. You are doing nice, thoughtful work. I just now subscribed to your blog. /Ralph

Agree with Ralph, nice work, subscribed.

Thank you for looking at the site and giving feedback. I hear you on using LR to edit and not foraying into Photoshop, LR is much more accessible. It's hard to justify the cost of PS too if LR will give just as good of results. I've found that PS and the more in-depth I've gone, the better my images have turned out. My two cents. Thank you again for the feedback!

Hello 'ryanwrightphoto'. I was interested to see your site but I found it difficult to read the black typeface on the blogs. It seems to me a heavier weight or bolder font would be easier to read.
Just my opinion.
Liked what you've done, though, and was grateful for the insights on the waterfalls in Iceland. I'll be traveling there in July.
Good luck with your endeavor.

I just took a quick breeze through on your blog. Will go back when I get off work and have more time. Definitely subscribed. Thanks for the post or I never would have found you. I have a question about the pictures you sell. You give two options for medium metal or paper. If I get the paper version will it simply be a print rolled up in a tube or do you do some mounting like on acrylic ? I have bought a few prints from different photographers and I really like the look of the acrylic mount with no frame, just floating on the wall. Can’t wait to read more later tonight.

Hi Larry, thanks for the comment! You bring up a good point about the typeface, I'll consider it.

You're going to have an incredible time in Iceland, it's a magical place. Keep in mind the weather and the crowds, but you'll have so much fun. Where are you planning on traveling, the whole Ring Road or just certain parts?

Hi Nelson,

Thank you for the comment too. Regarding pictures that I sell, yes the paper option is printed on paper. I do offer acrylic mounts, I agree they look incredible and I just started working with a company who specializes in those prints last week. My site is through Squarespace and they don't make it easy to do bulk changes to products, so if there is a photo that you'd be interested in please let me know and I can get you a price if it's not listed. Thanks again!

Hey Ryan, don't have the guide near me now. I'll get back to you. Thanks, Larry.

Beautiful photography and writing in general. Not to be a dick, but grammer needs touchup: e.g., "there ARE buffalo," and "for my friend and ME."

Sorry, I meant "for Rick and ME."

More difficult that it looks eh? ;)

Don't worry about being a dick, I won't get my feelings hurt and I respond well to that type of critique. Already made the changes you highlighted good sir!

Thank you. I'm not trying to criticise your excellent blog, but only to offer help.

Honestly, you're doing me a favor, I don't have anyone to proofread my blogs beforehand so I'm kind of flying blind when I post. I know I make grammar mistakes all the time, Grammarly doesn't catch all of them.

Thanks. I'm so glad you took it as it was intended.
